I have done private yoga sessions with Erica Straub, and love them. I've always been active and an athlete (and recently done a lot of dance). I find it hard to find teachers that impress me for any activity -- not intentional, but I am a tough critic. That said, Erica is amazing. My yoga sessions with her were some of my favorites ever. I loved her focus on the hips (even more so than other yoga classes), the athleticism required throughout, and her approach. (Not to mention, good music selection too!). She started with poses that weren't traditional lead-ins for a yoga session, and it helped open my body up literally and figuratively. Each time I did a session with her, I felt 100% better than when I started and had lasting benefits on my flexible, strength and state of mind. I highly recommend her!

Judy is a true professional in every sense of the word. She has a ton of expertise in physical fitness and training, and is always able to answer my questions completely and clearly. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, but she's also is a wonderfully friendly, kind, and encouraging trainer. I appreciate that she guides me through the session using clear, precise language while maintaining a supportive and positive vibe. She thoughtfully custom-tailors and plans my workouts in order to help me meet my stated goals, and at the same time she is flexible, as she is both capable and willing to alter the workout “off-the-cuff” as need be if I arrive at a session with a particular ache, pain, or limitation. I have made so much progress under her guidance and have become more confident to work out independently since starting training with her. I would highly recommend Judy to any of my friends or family members seeking a trainer!

I see Kelly for both Reiki and Yoga sessions. Her gentle, healing touch during Reiki has helped me to relax during my busy lifestyle. Kelly’s vinyasa flow classes are amazing and follow a consistent upbeat flow. Sometimes at the end of the week I enjoy a great restorative yoga class to help me unwind after the work week. I highly recommend Kelly for both Reiki and Yoga sessions.

Alison is a highly learned yogini, providing high quality, professional instruction and training for attaining personal health and well-being. She has a patient and caring approach, guiding through beginner steps and stumbles with encouragement, adapting modifications to accommodate specific needs. Through step by step, her practice helps you build discipline, strength and confidence as you see results accumulating.
In addition to Yoga training, Alison incorporates deeply nourishing meditation practice as part of the method. This brings a tranquil mind-body alignment to each session, reinforcing the accomplishments and dedicating to continued self-discovery and improvement.
A wonderful aspect of Alison's approach is the attentiveness to the individual needs, which is exemplified by her listening, questioning and understanding, then performing research on her own time, and incorporating specific approaches to address the needs. This is truly personalized care driven by a passion to help and heal.

I was extremely impressed with Natalyas sensitive yet demanding style of teaching. Having never taken Yoga classes before, I was unsure what to expect or how to judge her aptitude as an instructor. I decided to let time and my body determine for me. Classes started out very slowly, and although they became gradually more challenging, Natalyia remained sensitive to my bodys limitations till the end. Now, having taken ten classes with her, I feel that I can join a group session anywhere knowing that I have acquired the necessary tools to confidently follow my teachers instructions.
I recommend Natalyia whole-heartedly and will dearly miss her as well as her classes.

This was my first time taking a yoga class so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I had a great experience. I normally don't write reviews in general, but Brittany was excellent. She quickly recognized that some of us were beginners and provided clear alternatives to some poses. Never thought I'd have so much fun doing yoga. I would definitely take a class with her again.

Karina is a one of a kind yoga instructor who is also incredibly kind, gracious and patient. She is very communicative, professional, always good with coordinating events and over delivers on all of my expectations. I work with her for the retreats I organize, and she is an endless source of energy and inspiration. Whether you are looking to just get into yoga or already experienced, I highly recommend working with her.

Highly recommended! Rachel is a very intuitive and attentive yoga instructor. She pays great attention to the detail in every pose for everyone participating so that each person is comfortable and their posture is suited for their own individual level. She is more than willing to take extra time with you if you need it. Her vocal instruction is clear and detailed, as well so that you understand each position even at the novice level.
I haven't yet had acupuncture from her, but I hear similarly amazing things, so I'm looking forward to that experience!

Being new to yoga, I was looking for the right yoga instructor who could help me reach peaceful sustainability, teach me health maintenance, advanced meditation techniques as well as teach me the basic yoga exercises/movements. A wealth of knowledge and training along with the personal attention to my ability, past medical history and future goals is very important to me.
I attended several classes at my local gym an was not at all impressed with the instructors, class size, atmosphere and lack of education on the yoga principals/history.
I came across Brian on Thumbtack while looking into private instructors in my area. I was immediately impressed with his training in yoga, physical fitness and nutrition. His certifications surpassed all other trainers in the area. So I decided to give him a try.
I have had several private and group sessions to date and will enthusiastically continue to practice with Brian.
Upon arrival I notice that his studio was pristine and welcoming. His use of aromatherapy as well as herbal teas creates a wonderful scent and a feeling of calm.
Brian provided me with a private session to get to know me as a person, my health history, my future goals and introduced me to him and the history and variations of yoga practice. This was a wonderful session and he has since tailored my on-going personal an group sessions based on the information he obtained. Brian's classes are small and personal.
Brian:
- speaks clearly and his instruction is well-timed with the music and movements
-the music is played at a safe speed and is appropriate for the group and atmosphere
-Brian exhibits strong movements and posture and demonstrates them properly to the group and offers alternatives for newcomers
-all movements are safe and he offers adequate safety tips
- motivation and interaction: Brian is incredibly motivated and makes eye contact with participants as well as assist with poses
- has an energetic an peaceful environment
- Brian's classes have all the expected components; including an adequate warm-up, cool-down and stretch. Meditation is a big part of the classes and personal sessions. I always start and end up feeling completely relaxed and at peace
I highly recommend Brian to novice-advanced yoga students. He is highly skilled and very true to his beliefs.

Sarah has in-depth knowledge of physical therapeutic exercises. Being a teacher, I am always on my feet, using my voice, stressed out, etc. and she helps to target all of these issues while simultaneously giving me a full body efficient workout. Each lesson is customized to my mood and how I am feeling that day but often a lot of repetitive movements to track my progress. We do a combo of strength building and stretching as she incorporates both Yoga and Pilates principles. I am often very busy and having the convenience of Sarah coming to my home makes my life that much easier. Sarah is a great yoga instructor and I am stronger physically and mentally because of these private lessons, I thank her.

I had the pleasure of first meeting Aari at a group yoga class sponsored by a corporation. The session was to assist people with stress filled careers. What a moment! Aari exuded her love of the principles of yoga with both humor and how she assisted us in feeling like we were capable of doing each movement according to our level of learning.
Aari excited me to learn more so I approached her about individual yoga classes. She offered classes in the home and my Aari yoga classes began. Four of my friends and I have been her clients since 2003. She has always and I truly mean always been a person of integrity and one of learning and teaching. Her calm and reassuring manner has helped me through several difficult times in my life as well as my friends. She has helped me use the breathing techniques in my yoga practice to move me in to optimal "chi." I absolutely love how she listens to the body. She is the best at what she does! We now have our teens asking for her before they have tests or when they go through crisis. They love how she uses yoga to create peaceful moments.
What could Aari be better at? She could make Aari classes for everyone!

My last trainer I used because he was cheap. His service reflected it. GYMGUYZ exceeds their reputation. I've used 2 coaches (personal training and yoga) and they were both so great. I can't be happier - and my results have improved!

I have been suffering with lower back pain and sciatica for over a year. I began to see Stephanie Harding for Vinni yoga which was personalized and designed to help my specific area of injury. Stephanie is a caring and dedicated yoga therapist who helps throughout the session to be sure I gain maximum benefit. She also prepared drawings of the postures and exercises for my home program and made an audio CD which was extremely helpful. After about 6 months I was pain free most of the time.I truly appreciate what Stephanie has done for my health and well being.

My experience with Rasheem was incredible. His hands are very magical as he is very skilled in what he does. His combination of Qi Gong energy work, acupressure, shiatsu, fascia manipulation And Tai Yoga stretching did unbelievable wonders. It took away my pain and and had me totally relaxed. It felt like the perfect combination. I have never experienced a massage like that before. I am so spoiled as I will never allow myself to be treated by anyone else. I had a lot more energy than I had before massage. 60 minutes definately isn't enough time. You feel as if you want more and more time. I have been so blessed meeting Rasheem. Thank you Taoist System of Living Arts

Lauren was extremely professional and very knowledgeable. I am a beginner so it was a little intimidating at first but with Lauren’s help I now feel a lot more comfortable doing yoga. I look forward to working with her more in the future.
